About this pro

My mother taught me the basics of crochet when I was 8 years old. I fell in love with the art and taught myself how to follow instructions for patterns. I also taught myself how to knit and have been teaching myself new techniques ever since. I studied art at Tyler School of Art for 3 years and have taught arts and crafts at summer camps and daycare programs. On a personal level, I also enjoy teaching my family and friends how to knit and crochet.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

When I work with a new student, I begin by making an assessment of their knowledge in the subject being taught. I choose a theme and allow the student the freedom to do the project their own way. It gives the student an opportunity to show what they know and also aids the teacher in deciding what lesson needs to be taught. For example, a person who only knows the basics would not be able to do projects meant for students with intermediate skills and you wouldn't want to teach basics to a student who already knows how to work projects at an intermediate level. Once the assessment is made, I can create lessons to improve the skill they already have
